Paramount’s PG-13 ‘World War Z’ Finding Investors
Deadline is reporting that Paramount Pictures’ PG-13 adaptation of World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War is far from dead, in fact, they claim there are multiple partners talking about financing the pic together.
The plan remains for Brad Pitt to star and for Marc Forster to direct the adaptation Max Brooks’ novel “World War Z: An Oral History of the Zombie War.”
“The book looked at the aftermath of a global zombie war 10 years after the conflict, with a researcher for the UN Postwar Commission interviewing survivors in countries that were decimated by flesh eaters.”
While I’m always excited for a new zombie movie, I just can’t visualize what a PG-13 one would look like? Off screen feasting?
In the wake of Larry Fessenden’s werewolf movie Blackout releasing at home just last week, werewolf horror returns with the indie film Byte being unleashed later this week.
After its world premiere at the HorrorHound Film Festival in March, we’ve learned that Byte will be available April 18 on streaming platforms. Watch the official trailer below.
“In a concept generated for today’s Gen Z audience, the film follows a group of college-aged friends who become concerned when one of them discovers a mysterious phone app that turns users into werewolves. Meanwhile, a spate of violent killings plagues the city.”
Kayden Bryce, Marshall Vargas, Carlie Allen, Stephen Nicholas Knight, Debbie Scaletta, Bill Schroeder, Cali Jacobs, Candela Orio, Amanda Yanzanny, and Chris Hahn star.
Eddie Lengyel (Mother Krampus 2, American Poltergeist: The Curse of Lilith Ratchet) directs and produces from his screenplay. Fellow producer is Marie Lengyel. Jeff Miller (Ouija House) and Ronnie D. Lee (The Toybox) executive produce. Mick Kunz shot and edited the film.
“I think our concept of ‘technology meets werewolves’ is something audiences will dig,” producer Jeff Miller said in a statement. “Grab a pizza, sit back, and enjoy!”
Byte is a co-production between Millman Productions, Fright Teck Pictures, and Ron Lee Productions. In addition to the trailer, you’ll also find the upcoming film’s poster art below.
